Isn't there a concern though Brian that whatever the club says and whoever from the club is saying it some will always interpret it as corporate marketingspeak? I think ultimately it's about actions and if Randy does sell the new owners have to be seen to be doing things. Much like it feltwhen MON first arrived and he was backed significantly in the market to help us bridge the gap from also rans to contenders for a CL spot.

I agree with that, when the club do make statements the internet is flooded by 'don't tell me, show me' type comments.

I saw someone on here say something along the lines of "I hope no-one genuinely thinks this is a 'must win' game", as if we'd be fine regardless, and I was thinking that I was was being overly pessimistic by believing it was just that. This really does not look good...

This will be hard to take. I never in a million years expected us to go down but its looking increasingly likely now. cheaper seats next season tho I suppose

You'd have to think Norwich wont take any more points this season but the way its going I think they will win at least one of the three fixtures.

Fortunately Norwich' goal difference is much worse than ours and will have to take 4 more points than us, which they hopefully won't.

The club can always put up a few more pictures of the players smiling in training.

Behave.

For us to go down Fulham need to win both their final games, or Cardiff need two wins from three, or Sunderland need 7 points from 4 games. If any of those teams were capable of that they wouldn't be where they are.

So, desperate times means desperately relying on others as we are obviously incapable of winning a fucking game. So as it stands, for us to drop 2 of these clubs need to do the following (i'm pretty sure i've worked this out right) based on us getting 0 points from the last 3:

Fulham: Must beat Stoke (a) and Palace (h) anything less than 6 points and they can't catch us.

Norwich: 4 points from Manure (a) Chavski (a) Arsenal (h)

Cardiff: 6 points from Sunderland & Newcastle (a) Chavski (h)

Sunderland: 6 points (maybe 7 depending on GD) from Cardiff (h) Manure (a) Bitters (h) Swansea (h)
